1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Orofacial cleft (OFC) is the most common congenital malformation affecting the craniofacial area. A major challenge in managing children with OFC is their increased susceptibility to dental caries. This study aims to explore the association between dental caries and various potential variables, including OFC types, sex, and the presence of additional congenital deformities. Methods: This study includes 6-year-old children with OFC registered in the Norwegian Registry of Cleft Lip and Palate. Children were classified into two main groups: cleft lip and/or palate (CL ± P)-including cleft lip only (CLO) and cleft lip and palate (CLP)-and cleft palate only (CPO). The association between dental caries and OFC types, sex, and additional congenital deformities was analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression, reporting Results: Among 551 children with OFC (343 boys and 208 girls), 37% had CLP, 36% had CPO, and 27% had CLO. Dental caries experience was found among 99 (18%) children (66 males and 33 females): 39 had CPO, 37 had CLP, and 23 had CLO. No association between dental caries and OFC type was found ( Conclusion: Boys are more commonly affected by OFC than girls. Children with OFC and additional congenital deformities are more susceptible to caries, indicating the need for more targeted and individualized preventive oral health strategies.
